Explore Chautauqua, New York, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Chautauqua, New York. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of New York or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Chautauqua.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Chautauqua rises from the glacial landscape of southwestern New York, defined by the expansive, shimmering presence of Chautauqua Lake. It lies 13.5 miles south-southwest of Pomfret, NY (from Pomfret, NY: bearing 204°T), and is situated 5.7 miles west-northwest of Ellery. This inland expanse is characterized by a terrain of undulating plateaus that stretch toward the horizon, where the distant silhouette of Neils Ridge breaks the line of the sky. To the north, the landscape is punctuated by the dense, temperate greenery of State Reforestation Area Chautauqua Number 11, while the nearby banks of Prendergast Creek carve a quiet path through the soil. The air here holds a distinct, cooling weight, especially at dusk when the light turns a bruised violet and settles low over the water, softening the sharp edges of the surrounding hardwoods and open fields.
Chautauqua remains a place where the focus on intellectual enrichment and seasonal activity anchors the local economy, drawing those who value a deliberate pace of life. The land adjacent to the water is managed through the Chautauqua Utility District Lands, ensuring the preservation of the immediate environment against the pressures of modern expansion. While the deeper geological history of the region is etched into the distant, eroded depression known as The Gulf, the human history of Chautauqua is defined by its role as a destination for education and the arts. Life here moves in rhythm with the seasons, shifting from the quiet, snow-dusted stillness of the colder months to the vibrant, purposeful activity that defines the summer, all while maintaining a steady connection to the land and the history of its founding.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
